Equity for Children invites you to participate in the international online course “Child Poverty and Inequalities,” a free training opportunity designed to strengthen tools for measuring and analyzing multidimensional child poverty from a rights-based perspective.
How can we turn data on child poverty into evidence that helps inform public policies?
The international online course “Child Poverty and Inequalities” offers a space to deepen participants’ understanding of multidimensional child poverty and strengthen their capacity to measure and analyze it through a practical, rights-based approach.
Throughout the course, participants will develop skills to interpret indicators and data sources, connect poverty measurement with public policy and child well-being, and develop assessments through practical exercises and sessions using statistical software.
Who can participate?
The course is designed for graduate and doctoral students, early-career researchers and faculty, as well as professionals working in statistical agencies, governments, NGOs, and organizations focused on children’s rights.
